The summer sun beat down on the construction site.
"God I miss Marcie." Jen said as she helped Riley lift the heavy bricks from one pile to another.
"I do too, but she should be back soon." Riley said.
"Thank God Michael was there." Jen said. "I don't know what I would have done if-."
"She'll be okay, Jen." Riley said pulling her into a hug.
Nick walked in front of Jen and took of his shirt, exposing his bronze chest. Irritated, Jen rolled her eyes.
"Get the hell away from me and do some work for once!"
"What was that?" Nick sneered.
"You heard her, Jerk." Riley said. "She said 'get the hell away and do some work for once'!"
"Gee, Jen." Nick said. "I thought you only went for hot guys. What are you doing with this loser?"
Riley made a fist. "Man you are gonna wish you had never been born!"
"Hey! What are you kids doing over there?" Roxy yelled, eying Nick suspiciously.
"Just havin' a little fun." Nick said.
Riley scoffed. "Yeah, at the expense of Jen."
Roxy walked over to Nick and ran her brightly painted fingernail down his bare chest. "Hey you know... you're kinda cute." She said seductively. "What do you say you and I meet up after work at the Love Shack? Alone?"
Jen's eyes widened at the sight unfolding before her.
"So what'll it be?" Roxy asked. "You and me? Tonight?"
"Heck yeah! Nick said. I'll be there! What time?"
Roxy smiled and looked at her watch. "How about ten minutes to never!" She yelled, giving him a shove that caused him to stumble backwards.
Riley, Hudson and Jen rolled with laughter.
"Man, she got you good!" Hudson laughed.
"Stupid broad!" Nick muttered, causing Roxy to turn around.
"Yeah? Well I may be stupid, but I ain't mean!" she walked over and poked him with her finger, causing him to flinch.
"Ow! What the hell?"
Roxy looked him directly in the eye. "Look Messina, I know all about what you've been doing to Marcie Walsh."
"Hey, I haven't done nothin' to her!" Nick said.
Roxy poked him in the chest again. "First of all, it's 'I ain't done nothin to her', and yes, you have! Ronnie Walsh told me all about how you've been buggin' Marcie because of her weight."
Nick's face turned red with anger. " I didn't do anything to that fat-."
"Hmm.. Just as I thought." Roxy said. "You listen to me, Messina, and you listen good. Marcie is a sweet girl and her steady Michael is Johnny McBain's brother. So unless you want to deal with Johnny and the Llanview PD, you'd better back off. Believe me, he's been looking for you and won't stop till he finds you."
At the mention of John's name, Nick's face froze with fear.
"And if he doesn't come after you, I will." Riley said.
"Now get back to work!" Roxy yelled.
"Thank you, Roxy." Jen said, giving Roxy a hug.
"Yeah, well, I don't like to see no one messin' with a McBain and a McBain's girl. How's Marcie doin' anyway?"
"She's with Michael, but I'm really worried about her." Jen said.
"Really... Well if she's with Dr. Mikey, I bet he's treatin' her with some Love Potion Number Nine if you know what I mean." Roxy said.
